Primary Topic Hail Damage Inspection
Service Area Gillette, WY 82716

Gillette homeowners may notice dark spots or granule loss and wonder whether the roof has hail damage or shingle blistering.

Quick answer:

Hail damage usually comes from storm impact, while shingle blistering is often related to heat, age, ventilation, or manufacturing issues. A roof inspection helps tell the difference.

What Hail Damage Looks Like

Hail damage may show as impact marks, bruising, granule loss, dented vents, and matching damage on gutters or siding.

What Shingle Blistering Looks Like

Blistering can appear as small popped spots or exposed asphalt areas caused by trapped moisture, heat, or shingle aging.

Why the Difference Matters

Hail damage may be storm-related, while blistering may be age, ventilation, or product related.

Gillette Weather Factors

Hail, wind, snow, and sun exposure can all affect shingles and make damage harder to identify from the ground.

Inspection Clues

Dented soft metals, damaged gutters, and siding impacts can help support storm damage findings.

Repair or Replacement

The right solution depends on the cause, severity, roof age, and how widespread the issue is.
